> What’s next for Nintendo? Until last week, that answer seemed to be quite a ways off. Then, almost without warning, word started circulating that Nintendo’s next home console, the successor to Wii, codenamed “Project Cafe,” would be revealed at E3 2011.

Some pretty strong rumors that it will have a touchscreen controller and be significantly more powerful that Xbox360 and PS3.

Thoughts?

If I can transfer over my Wiiware and Virtual Console games, I’m in.

Existing thread [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=604753). Sorry for the vague name that probably made you miss it, I was holding my cards until I was sure Sony and Microsoft weren’t gonna jump on the bandwagon.

Ah, I Ctrl-F’ed “Nintendo,” figuring that would be the one word that was sure to be in the title.
